Lab Tours
A trick from modern physics allows us to "see" individual atoms: a scanning tunnelling microscope feels the atoms by means of a fine metal tip and converts this information into images. We can also move individual atoms in a targeted manner and use them to build nanostructures that open up completely new technical applications.
Location: Room 0.3.16
Find out how hard disks store information, what new concepts there are for magnetic data storage and what role atomically thin magnetic layers play in this. Observe how these can be explored in ultra-high vacuum using laser beams and how their magnetic properties can be improved.
Location: Room 1.2.30
We study the atmospheres and environmental conditions of other planets and not only simulate them in our laboratory, but also use the International Space Station ISS for experiments outside the protective atmosphere of Earth. One of the exciting questions is: Is there (or was there) life on these planets?
